OK, some background to this one: In Hitman, Sixpack is one of Ennis's vessels for lampooning and sending up superheroes. He's someone who thinks he's on the justice league but who is actually a short drunkard in a costume that smells of urine, who sometimes aligns himself with a group of basically homeless mental patients as the superteam Section Eight. He has no powers, he's drunk most of the time, and is consistently played as a comedy nobody. Then (in issues 51 and 52), Gotham is attacked by a many-angled Lovecraftian horror. It kills and maims indiscriminately, and Sixpack stands up to it. This is how it happens:  Apologies for the tiny image size, but the idea of this tiny ridiculous man facing certain death without question or fear because "That's what superheroes do" gets me every single time.
